A Community Resource in Las Vegas: Goshen

WAYS THE GOSHEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COALITION CAN ASSIST CLASSROOMS WITH SERVICE-LEARNING PROJECTS:

  • Provide information on Development Assets – one service-learning project = 19 developmental assets.
  • Provide information and community contacts on ways to reduce violence and bullying – how to become a bully free school.
  • Mentoring.
  • Tutoring.
  • Research.
  • Explaining the difference between volunteerism and service-learning.
  • Creating field trips.
  • Finding paint supplies and/or building relationships with cooperative extensions, city councils, and county commissioners.
  • Provide resources on locations to find service-learning grants.
  • Providing contacts for learning more about banking/savings accounts – US Bank, Washington Mutual.
  • Connecting classrooms with doctors and nurses to learn more about biology and medicine.

These are just a few ways that the Goshen Community Development Coalition can be of service to the classrooms.
